Remote Health Monitoring System

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the received first set of data has a first level of detail, and the received second set of data has a second level of detail that is higher than the first level of detail.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein automatically analyzing the received second set of data having the second level of detail consumes more computational resources than automatically analyzing the received first set of data having the first level of detail.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the computer-based data analyzer is configured to remotely change the preset duty cycle at the remotely-located monitoring device such that, after the change, the first set of data in step (a) is periodically received by the data analyzer with a different fixed interval of time between any two successive receptions of the first set of data.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first set of data and the second set of data are different subsets of data collected from a user using at least one sensor operatively coupled to the remotely located monitoring device.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the subsets of data collected from the user include at least one of an acceleration, a pulse oximetry, a blood pressure, a respiration, a movement, or cardiac electrical signals.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the subsets of data collected from the user include data of a first resolution, and wherein the first set of data received in step (a) includes data of a second resolution, wherein the second resolution is lower than the first resolution.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the second set of data received in step (d) includes data of a third resolution greater than the second resolution.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the first set of data received in step (a) includes data for a first time period, and the second set of data received in step (d) includes data for a second time period, wherein the second time period is smaller than or equal to the first time period.

10. The method of claim 5, wherein the subsets of data collected from the user include electrocardiograph (ECG) data.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein causing the remotely-located monitoring device to transmit the second set of data to the computer-based data analyzer in step (c) includes causing the remotely-located monitoring device to transmit data corresponding to a time period that spans the identified suspected arrhythmia in step (b).

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the first set of data received in step (a) includes data collected using one or more first sensors, and the second set of data received in step (d) includes data collected using one or more second sensors, and wherein at least one sensor of the one or more first sensors is different from the one or more second sensors.

14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the received first set of data has a first level of detail, and the received second set of data has a second level of detail that is higher than the first level of detail.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein automatically analyzing the received second set of data having the second level of detail consumes more computational resources than automatically analyzing the received first set of data having the first level of detail.

16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the computer-based data analyzer is configured to remotely change the preset duty cycle at the remotely-located monitoring device such that, after the change, the first set of data in step (a) is periodically received by the data analyzer with a different fixed interval of time between any two successive receptions of the first set of data.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the first set of data received in step (a) include data for a first time period, and the second set of data received in step (d) include data for a second time period, wherein the second time period is smaller than or equal to the first time period.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19, wherein the received first set of data has a first level of detail, and the received second set of data has a second level of detail that is higher than the first level of detail.
